Windows only: The Google Desktop search app graduates from beta with new features and updates.

Now you can lock Desktop Search while you're away from your computer to deny access by snooping co-workers and use a search box integrated into the middle of your computer desktop by hitting the Control key twice. All that's in addition to Google Desktop's impressive laundry list of features that help you get to your documents fast, like the controversial "search across computers" feature, Outlook integration and Sidebar.
